COMD 2330 Digital Photography Fall 2015

I liked this photograph best from the rest because its different. You can see a photo within a photo. My group and I were trying to capture the concept of technology. Nowadays phones are the biggest source of usage among us. I think that our group worked really well together because we all got along and were able to come up with some great ideas for the scavenger hunt.

Working as a group is always a good idea, I get to see the ways my classmates approach things when doing the assignment. I think we worked really well,  we all took photos before agreeing which of all worked better for each on the list.

This image for example. Taken by classmate Rafal, unlike the one I took of this; his had a better angle and focus. I believe it follows the criteria, might not be obvious to be a fierce photo, but I think that’s what makes it better in the sense of what does the viewer thinks when looking at it and such. As said in class it is as if he is seconds from setting the alarm, a bit dramatic in my opinion. And that’s why I picked this one out of the others we took.

This photo illustrates the use of leading lines perfectly. The angle in which the photo was taken makes the lines stand out ever more. The line under the name is also important and sets the mood for the leading lines. The letters top creates an imaginary line that also catches the viewers eye. The letters also go from largest to smallest, creating depth and perspective.

I feel that as a group, we did a good job finding interesting photos. Each of us wanted to get as many items as much as possible. We also wanted as much light as possible.

This photo matches with the Silhouette item very well. It’s very effective with the shadows. The most interesting point about this photo was the angle, coming from the camera shooting down, which does make everything skewed.
